The purpose of the Hempstead Senior Community Service Center is to provide senior citizens with the opportunity to come together, enjoy a meal with friends and participate in a range of activities. Transportation to and from the Center is provided on a daily basis, and includes busses with handicapped accessibility. Seniors are able to engage in social activities and achieve a sense of community with others, relieving them of the isolation which is too often a part of our senior citizens’ lives.

The Hempstead Senior Community Service Center is open Monday – Friday from 9:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.
